Idiot of the Day

First I’m gonna say that this was destined to be a disaster from the start. I think any normal-thinking person would realize that it’s hard to navigate 35 moving objects. Maybe sticking 35 kids on a skate ramp was a dump idea. And what’s up with Rip van Winkle running this joint? But the reporter […]

That’s right people, I sunk a boat. And it’s no game of Battleship, either. I polished off a whole boat of sushi last week. There is this great Asian restaurant that I love, and if you order enough sushi, they don’t bring it to you on a tray, they load it up onto a wooden […]
